Old Orchard Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Opened in 1929, Old Orchard Country Club has a classic design with challenges that stand up to modern golf courses. Throughout the course, you'll see traces of the site's former use as a farm. Ancient apple trees from the original orchard frame many of the holes. The diverse layout will test you with a variety of different shots but the gently rolling terrain makes for an easy walk. Skill and strategy will be generously rewarded but it's not an overly punishing layout for the high handicapper. Old Orchard's greens play true and fast and they are often flanked with strategically positioned bunkers. A stream wanders through the golf course, coming into play on several holes. Golfers will face a tricky island green on the par-5 seventh hole as well as an almost-island green on the par-4 13th.

Sad states of affairs
This course could be beautiful but it’s in beyond poor condition. Sand traps have weed growing in them, no distinction between tee boxes, fairway, rough. It’s like playing on a soccer field that has greens that have speed bumps like you’re approaching a toll booth on the parkway.
The green fees were cheap but honestly not worth time or money even on an incredibly low hot deal.

I don't get it....
I read all the negative reviews about the condition of the course. Except for the aerated greens, the course was in fine shape. Even booked again for this Sunday!

poor conditions, fun round
the good; I shot a personal best 76 and there was no one else on the course.
the bad; guess there's a reason there was no one else on the course.
it's actually a fun layout, and any course I can play without waiting on shots is worth it for me.
but the fairway is barely different than the rough and the greens are very sandy and more brown than green. If you're close and it's $30 go for it as long as you know what you're getting lol but $50+ with a cart would be a little silly.

course was in terrible condition, how many bad reviews do you need to figure out that you can't properly manage this facility? this is a classic old golf course that deserves proper maintenance. if your'e going to continue to run this course into the ground, then it is time for you to sell it & move on. your'e obviously in over your head. i've played there for many years & can't believe what's happened to this place!!!!!

Like playing at the beach
The entire course is in very poor condition. Grass is way too high all throughout and the greens are like playing at the beach.

Great value
Only the front 9 was open so we played it twice. It is nice to know they care about fixing the course that they closed the back nine. Beautiful course that hopefully will be fabulous once the greens are repaired on the front and back nine.
Hi, u314160257458. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we are working on finishing the rest of our course very soon. Thank you for playing Old Orchard Country Club.
Terrible Course Condition
There are absolutely no difference between fairway and rough! Crab grass everywhere! Greens look like an old ripped up turf carpet. Cannot putt at all. And it still costs $50+. Shouldn’t be in business honestly. Looks like it was abandoned a decade ago. Explains why the parking lot was empty when we arrived.
Hello Sjhession22, thank you for your review and we appreciate your feedback. Our grounds crew was focused on aeration which is why you may have seen a difference in our course. Due to that, we gave golfers the option of playing 9 holes to reduce pricing. We apologize for the inconvenience as we are finishing up our aeration process.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating! We really appreciate your business. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future to earn that last star!

This course fell apart and is not being maintained.
Greens were patchy and awful, there were grass clippings a foot wide and 3 inches deep around most of the fairways, and on top of all of that the grill was broken and we couldn’t even get a hotdog at the turn. It has rained a lot and I can understand the conditions, but the price is out of hand for the course you’re playing. $40 would have been a slight disappointment, $72 just feels like you’re being robbed.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations. It was an uncommon instance and we’ll do better in the future.
Please feel free to reach out to us with any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you wish to share. We would love to make things right if you give us another chance.
Horrible conditions and pace of play
On most holes, it’s hard to differentiate between the fairway and rough. Greens and tee boxes are absolutely putrid. Played 9 holes in 3 hrs and 7min sometimes waiting 15min between shots. Easily the worst course I’ve played, absolute waste of money, will NEVER go back and will implore others not to waste their money. You’re better off not playing if this is the only option.

The course was in very bad condition the grass was very high in the fairway, greens in bad shape, golf cart died by the 5 th hole had to be exchanged. The 13 or the 14 hole was closed and no one told us. It’s a shame this was a very nice course I played there for many years
Needs TLC
This course has a very good layout, BUT it’s in dire need of maintenance, please please please please cut the grass, I can live with some of the greens being not up to par, but the grass really needs to be cut
